Hello from Norway!
 

Been lurking around this forum for quite some time.
Finally picked up my C-10 yesterday and thought I'd show it off.

It's a '71 Cheyenne Super with an original BB 402. California black plate truck imported to Norway in the fall of 2014.

I'm already in love.
Here are some pics.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Welcome aboard. That's a fine looking truck you have there.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Welcome from Texas. Very nice looking truck, I like that color.
You have a pic of the SPID cause looking at the pics that doesn't look like a super

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Nice truck man! Very cool. Lets see some interior and motor pictures please!:chevy:

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Wow beautiful truck! Welcome to the forum!

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Nice! That must get some looks over there.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Very nice!

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Beautiful! Love the color. Welcome to the website. I would like to see photos of the engine and interior.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Thanx guys, I really appreciate your comments. This seems like a friendly forum to a newbie.

@hdff: If it's a Super or not, I don't know, I have to trust the PO. He claimed it to be a Super, and imported it as one, but of course there's no SPID inside the glovebox door. Anyway else I can identify it?

I love it even if it turns out to be no Super. ;)

Here are som pics of the interior and engine. The door cards and seat are obviously not sporting the original upholstery, not even sure if it's the correct seat, but i plan to address that.
There's also a set of Mickey Thompson Valve Covers that's not correct as well, I think they're kinda cool so I might keep those.

Nice ride!! Looks like a great example of the genre'. And just so you know, it's OK to love your truck but no casual "Fun" I hear the Scandinavians are fond of that. ;)

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

either way it is a nice looking truck. the reason I ask was the PO of my truck sold it as a super and it was not, I blame myself for not doing enough research before I bought. But I still love it just the same!!! I know that this post is over a year old hopefully you are still enjoying it!!

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

White wall tires? HAS ANYONE HUGGED YOU TODAY? :chevy:

I dad loves white walls so I grew up with my truck wearing them.

Your truck is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for posting pics for us. It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow enthusiast from so far away. :)

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Welcome! Congrats on the new ride!

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Even if it has the extra mods and improvements that is still one gorgeous truck.

Would be interested to know if you guys have to burn the e-10 ethanol gas over there.

Its been a bain since the government mandate here.

Someone here may know whether the nameplate on the glove box would be indicative of a true Super truck.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

You have a sweet ride there. Hope you have time through the short summers there to enjoy your cool ride.

Re: Hello from Norway!
 

Still enjoying and loving my truck! I don't mind if it's not a Super. :)

He he! Just the wife and kids. ;)
Gotta sport white walls, they look really good on these trucks.
Glad to have this forum available.

Thanx!
No need to run ethanol over here, unless you want to save some money.
I run premium 98 octane in my truck.

Thanx!
I've ridden this truck all year since I bought it. I live in the south eastern Norway so we don't have that much snow, thankfully. ;)

:bowtie:

I've been doing some slight alterations on my truck over the last year, not much so far, but there's more to come this spring.

I painted the headlight surrounds black. I think it looks better than the all aluminum finish.

I painted the steelies red to make them pop more, and I think it suits the truck.

Since this last picture was taken I had a mishap with the paint on the bed, due to a lousy painters prep job.
What to do with that until I get a chance to re-spray?
Emphasize it with some free hand lettering. ;)

Sweet truck!
Off topic here: Are you familiar with the troll? Concrete natural gas rig. Built in a fjord and floated out into the north sea and planted by the great norwegians(about 1995). I've always been into that kind of stuff
